Java Email Example Using SMTP
This Java program will build a multi-part MIME email and send it through SendGrid. Java already has built in libraries to send and receive emails. This example uses:
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.mail.Authenticator;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
import java.util.Properties;
public class SimpleMail {
private static final String SMTP_HOST_NAME = "smtp.sendgrid.net";
private static final String SMTP_AUTH_USER = "myusername";
private static final String SMTP_AUTH_PWD = "mypwd";
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
new SimpleMail().test();
}
public void test() throws Exception{
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", SMTP_HOST_NAME);
props.put("mail.smtp.port", 587);
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
Authenticator auth = new SMTPAuthenticator();
Session mailSession = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, auth);
// uncomment for debugging infos to stdout
// mailSession.setDebug(true);
Transport transport = mailSession.getTransport();
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mailSession);
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart("alternative");
BodyPart part1 = new MimeBodyPart();
part1.setText("This is multipart mail and u read part1......");
BodyPart part2 = new MimeBodyPart();
part2.setContent("<b>This is multipart mail and u read part2......</b>", "text/html");
multipart.addBodyPart(part1);
multipart.addBodyPart(part2);
message.setContent(multipart);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("me@myhost.com"));
message.setSubject("This is the subject");
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
new InternetAddress("someone@somewhere.com"));
transport.connect();
transport.sendMessage(message,
message.getRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO));
transport.close();
}
private class SMTPAuthenticator extends javax.mail.Authenticator {
public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
String username = SMTP_AUTH_USER;
String password = SMTP_AUTH_PWD;
return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
}
}
}
